Cathay Pacific "New" First Class - Vancouver to New York

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
  • Cathay Pacific recently revised its First Class product, changing the menu, amenities, bedding and other service aspects. The Hong Kong airline is also terminating its YVR to JFK service, a regular itinerary of mine. So, with these events in mind, I decided to try out their premiere cabin on this route one last time for old time's sake. From check-in to the Cathay Pacific Vancouver lounge, I'll take you along with me as I traverse the continent in the most expensive and luxurious way possible on a commercial flight.

    You had me at 2 normal adults or one medium sized American as to the spaciousness of your seat in First Class. Laughing my head off. Once again, after watching some more of your videos, I have been thoroughly entertained by your sarcasm and wit. In comparison with some of your other videos, the expression, "you call a spade a spade". If it sucks, it sucks really bad. If it's great, it's great. Love the presentation and no worries on how you look. Remember the adage, "to your mom, you will always be a handsome boy!". Enjoyed the dinner presentation and your choices. You had me falling out of the chair when you told us your favorite show, "Air crash investigations" (or something like that, too busy laughing)! Well done. I can't see Sam Chui posting that on a video of his without scaring all his subscribers.

    After putting up with Nonstop Dan and Sam Chui, I have to say this is my favorite channel for Airline reviews, this guy is chill and has a non-cringy (most of the time) sense of humor unlike the other two aformentioned channels. I can't stand Dan's voice and facial expressions and Sam feels very awkward to watch.

      Ineed Therapy Dan is somehow more annoying than Sam. This channel rules though

    Wonderful! Really good review and film! I know how much time it takes to make a good video, and yours is entertaining and informative and NOT generic! Just like what I wanna see and also like what I try to do with my own films too that I make: not generic, but well-done and with love.... Congratulations!
